of the worst for assigned to the close management unit. >> we have the largest close management population currently in the state of florida. those inmates are more assaulted and more disruptive than the normal population inmates in the state. the close management inmates, if proven to be an inability to live in population due to repeated disciplines within their department. disruptions of institutions throughout the state. disobeying orders from staff, non-receptiveness to the correctional process as a whole. >> the 1,100 inmates in santa rosa's close management unit represent more than a third of the prison's population. they all live under the middle east restrictive conditions, and some handle it better than others. a medical emergency on the unit has required correction staff to respond in hazmat suits. >> let's go! >> moments earlier, an inmate was discovered bleeding heavily in his cell. apparently from self-inflicted wound. >> come on. let's go.

12:08 am
acting out by cutting limbs, if something doesn't go right for him. >> inmate doctor is very rooted in reality. what you saw, slumped over, his very weak voice, you know, i think it's just manufactured to gain attention. and to try to, you know, send him to a different environment. such as our in-patient facilities. >> while doctor received a disciplinary report for the masturbation incident, he will not receive one for cutting himself. >> doctor for his behavior will be seen by a psych, checked out make sure everything's okay. clean his cell up and they'll send him back down to us items want to know what he used to cut himself with. still in the stall or thrown it out here? it hasn't been recovered. sometimes take the batteries, sharp didn't on the ground. makes an excellent razor and enough to handle left to-slice

♪ hundred grand smoke it like a chimney, better hope before i get a chance to spend it ♪ ♪ if i, if i had a hundred grand, lord, i might go off the deep end and go blow it all this weekend ♪ >> hey, school, baby. >> hey. i know. >> at the santa rosa correctional institution in florida, dreams of what could be run through the imaginations of many. but less so for those who have already spent decades on the inside. >> to be honest with you, probably looking at probably one of the biggest screw-ups in the united states sitting right here looking at you. >> i've been incarcerated since i've been 18 years old. when i was 18, i did a burglary
12:16 am
and received a life sentence for it. >> jack hill was convicted of burglary and assault. and although he received a life sentence, he's been eligible for parole three times. >> i've been on parole and violated and i'm back. let me say something about parole real quick. i've heard people say this a lot of times. man, you get parole? what are you doing back? you know? how did you come back? how did you mess up? you know? when you're on parole, you actually live under a more stricter environment than you do in prison. okay? you get a traffic ticket on the street, say you run a stop sign. you're going to pay your little ticket and go about your way. that's not going to happen to me. me, they're going to send me back to prison. you live with this threat over your head constantly and it's a lot of pressure. >> these days hill lives with a little less pressure than roughly one-third of santa rosa's inmates.
12:17 am
he's housed in a general population unit where there is more freedom of movement and privileges. >> see this right here? nectar of the gods. that's nectar of the gods. can't get beer, but you can drink coffee. >> borrowing coffee from a neighbor is considerably more difficult if not impossible for the 1,100 inmates housed in close management unit. >> both of you, step over here one at a time. >> turn around. >> they're in confinement for violence or other serious rule violations and are subject to cell inspections for weapons, drugs or other forms of contraband. >> turn around, back in the cell. >> we're going to conduct a routine cell search on a couple cells up here in wing one. >> every shift has to shake down a certain amount of inmates every day, and this is what we'll do. go in there, have them cuff up. they'll submit to the restraints. place them in the shower. go through their belongings in the cell.
12:18 am
it's to control the contraband for the safety, sanitation and security of the institution. we'll go up and pick a number that's random. it kind of keeps them off their toes, because if we were to go in and start searching from cell one all wait down, then the others will know, hey, we're going get searched next. let's get rid of our contraband. doing it at random gives us a good chance to find something if they got something up in there. >> this one. this is not right. feel this one. feel that one. here. go ahead and open that one. yeah. that's soap. >> what is that? >> whoa. whoa. >> there we go. >> let me see that. >> what do y'all have?
12:19 am
>> man, that's a cuff key. that's a homemade cuff key made out of metal. that's a homemade cuff key. this right here can get somebody killed. this is why we do our shakedowns and do them at random. it they knew we coming we would have never found this. it would have been gone. they would have flushed it. this right here is very serious. >> the key has been discovered in the cell of inmates lionel bowden and foktoe duran, but in bowden's deodorant container. >> if we didn't find this, think what could have happened. we don't know as of now what he was planning to do. >> he's serving a 21-year sentence for armed armory. he's been a close management inmate for almost a year after having been caught with a shank. >> yep. look. it fits in here perfect. the dimensions are just right, because it fell over a little bit, but it fit in there. and it turned.
12:20 am
you want to explain this? why you got a homemade cuff key in your property? >> nothing to explain. if you found it in my property, you know? >> why did you make it? >> in case i need it. >> need it for what? >> i don't know, l.t. something might happen where i might need it. >> you going to escape with it, is that what you are going to do? >> hell no. why would i want to escape? >> okay. i'm going to have you write a statement out. you understand? go ahead and house him alone immediately go ahead and put him on heightened security. okay? >> later, bowden explained he made the key from a battery. >> you have to roll it so you'll be able to grip it.
12:21 am
>> yeah, but the dimensions right, though. have you ever even held a cuff key? >> yeah. somebody told me. make them at one point in time. >> how much does a cuff key go for? >> $25. >> all right. this is what we need to do. go with him and get the balanced property packed up. we're going to ship him over and place in heightened security single cell over there. get him out, his stuff packed up and get him out of here. >> sometimes the risk has to be taken. if i make it and get caught, i get the consequences and have to accept the consequences. >> i'm going to place you on heightened security and move you out of the dorm. all right? appreciate your honesty with that. any other comments? >> no. >> turn around. cuff up. all right. back out. kneel down.
12:22 am
black box. >> the black box is a security device placed over bowden's handcuffs to cover the key hole to prevent him from tampering with the lock. >> you understand you're being placed on heightened security, this will be required every time you leave your cell. right? >> him having a handcuff key is pretty scary. he can turn around, hurt a staff member or being on a transport try and escape on the transport. there's been officers in other states that have gotten killed because of inhates escaping and they had handcuff keys. we don't want that to happen. coming up -- lionel bowden answers to authorities, and -- >> i know i'm a man but i consider myself a woman. >> an inmate deals with his identity. >> inmate williams was sent temsed as a male, so that's the way he's treated, as a male inmate. so, what hap
12:23 am
pens if i'm in an accident and need to get my car fixed? progressive makes it easy, because we give you choices.
12:24 am
you can pick where to get your car fixed, we can cut you a check, or, at our service center, we take care of everything for you. [ relaxing music playing ] [ chuckles ] -whew, so many choices. -take your time. -the service center. -okay. giving you choices -- now, that's progressive. call or click today. >> like all prisons, the santa rosa correctional institution near pensacola, florida, has strict codes of conduct for inmates. >> the staff keep tight reigns on this inmate population. because if you continue to allow little violations, then they turn into big things and with
12:25 am
this caliber of population, we have to handle it this way. >> more than three quarters of santa rosa's inmate population are serving time for violent crimes including assault, rape and murder, but even those convicted of non-violent crimes are expected to follow all the same rules and protocols. >> they nitpick about every little thing. they're so by the rules here. you've got to walk a narrow line. if you do anything outside of that, this is where you end up, in confinement with nothing. >> tell me about your headpiece. >> my headpiece? this is just a t-shirt, really. this is illegal. i'm not supposed to be wearing this, really. >> jurez williams has been at santa rosa seven months. >> i've been incarcerated three
12:26 am
times all for the same thing. violation of probation and prostitution. >> williams says he began turning tricks at 12 years old and has been arrested eight times for prostitution. >> prostitution, when you first catch one it's a misdemeanor. after the third one, they upgrade it to a felony. that's what happened with me. what the judge told me, if i get caught again for prostitution, it would be a five-year sentence. [ inaudible ] >> i can't help it. i cannot help it. if someone gave me like $1 million right now and told me you don't have to do this no more, i think i would just upgrade everything i have and continue doing what i do. >> williams's many mug shots offer a glimpse of his life as a transgender prostitute. >> i'm addicted to it. i don't know why. that's all i can say. >> one time he was even mistakenly booked into a county jail as a female. >> i'm a male but i consider myself a woman. on the street i live my life as
12:27 am
a woman. i was taking hormones on the street, off and on. i plan on eventually getting the whole surgery done if i of make enough money to do it. >> but williams' preference to live as a woman makes no difference at santa rosa. >> inmate williams was sentenced as a male, sent to a male facility, so that's the way he's treated, as a male inmate. >> though he has spent time in various jails and prisons, williams finds santa rosa especially hard to deal with. >> i have to deal with a lot of negativity about me being who i am. so with me being homosexual, i'm like an outcast compared to everyone else in here. it's like -- i'm like scum of the earth here. out of all the times i've been in prison, i've never been through this much crap. >> currently, williams has
12:28 am
little if any contact with other inmates. he is housed in a single-man confinement cell. >> an inmate, i'm supposed to write a request form for me and said i was going to make an attempt to escape. >> why would an inmate write that? >> i have no idea. they either don't want me in the room with them or it could have been anything. >> the anonymous letter stated that williams was going to kill two correction officers during his escape attempt. williams believes he was framed, but was placed in confinement pending an investigation. >> sometimes it is hard for us as security to be able to determine which ones may have validity and which ones not. that's why we take them serious when they have to do with anything about escape or staff safety. >> but within a few more days, williams can put his current troubles behind him. he only has one week left on his sentence. >> this is a releet -- release
12:29 am
handout, you know, letting you know all the things i have to do, if i have to go register as a convicted felon in the county i'm going home to, and right now i'm just -- overwhelmed with excitement. i just want my freedom. i want to see my friends. i want to see my family. so it's kind of hard being, like, enclosed in here by myself, and i just want to go -- ah! hey. >> coming up -- >> all right, guys. get him up in the wheelchair. >> armando doctor causes another emergency response. and later -- >> what were you planning to do with the handcuff. >> lionel faces a disciplinary review for his homemade cuff key.

12:31 am
12:32 am
we have breaking news at this hour. parts of hawaii are bracing for a tsunami at any moment. it comes after a powerful earthquake off the western coast of canada. waves as high as seven feet could hit the hawaiian island of
12:33 am
maui. the weather channel is reporting 5 to 7-foot waves along the california and oregon coast where a tsunami advisory is in effect. we'll keep you posted throughout the night and more news on hurricane sandy. but first back to "lockup." prisons like the santa rosa correction institution in florida can be dirty places. blood, sweat, feces and urine are part of the fabric of life here. the task of cleaning that fabric, the inmate's clothes and
12:34 am
l linens, falls squarely on 18 inmates who work in the laundry taft. among them is michael james. >> we operate eight to ten hours a day. we have a lot of different things that go on here. fight, stabbings, a lot of stuff goes on here in santa rosa. it's a level 6 facility. >> some of the worst laundry comes from the close management units. >> violent inmates back there. you know what they're capable of. it's just a place you don't want to be. >> the most hazardous laundry is washed separately from all the rest. >> these yellow bags are the ones that come in and what we do, we usually don't open them until we stick them into the machine. this is daily. the blood and stuff from cutters and suicide. >> armando doctor, the close management one inmate recently contributed to the latest load of yellow bag laundry when he deliberately cut himself inside his cell. the damage was so severe, he need add transfusion to replace the blood he lost.
12:35 am
two days later, he's cut again. >> bleed out there on the floor. appears inmate doctor has a self-inflicted injury to his left arm. came up, unresponsive laying on the floor. came necessary for us to do a life saving check. medical has been notified. >> he's been doing this quite a while. probably about his fifth time he's cut. we've had to pull him out and deal with him this way, and it's getting to be about a monthly thing. >> what's going on with you? why you doing this? >> i tried to talk but nobody wanted to listen. >> who'd you try to talk to? talk to mental health? >> i tried. i tried to get them -- they ignored me. >> did you declare a psychological emergency? >> yes, sir.
12:36 am
i'm in fear for my life. the news hit me in the face. >> who did? seems to me like you should be in fear of your life from yourself. >> watch your step, back it up. >> while inmate doctor made serious allegations, mental health staff say this is not the first time. after several evaluations, they say doctor has ulterior motives for cutting himself. >> he's noted for doing something like this if something doesn't go right, but what he's doing is not related to his mental health. it's, in my opinion, it's more manipulative. he's trying to get out of something, or he's using us as a way to manipulate the system. so we want to keep an eye on the cutting, because we don't want anyone to die, which he really doesn't want to die.
12:37 am
but he could accidentally do it. >> it's a new cut. it's not the same cut as his old, as the previous one. it's a new cut on his left upper bicep up here that's fairly deep. ultimately it's for some type of secondary gain. he's going to continue to do it until he gets what he wants. no way of telling. i have no idea what he's trying to get out of it. >> she threatened me! >> before doctor can be brought back to his cell it has to be cleaned and disinfected and once again that job falls to houseman carlton williams. >> he did it again. that should have known that from the get-go. >> this time officers have retrieved the object doctor used to cut himself. >> actually looks like a piece of razor blade.
12:38 am
>> after the cleanup, correction officers removed all things from his cell to prevent another cutting incident. >> it's not for punishment but for his own protection. it's kind of going to be up to him how far this goes. we're trying to protect tim and have to take it step by step. >> doctor will remain under observation for security and mental health staff and given back his mattress and other possessions once it's determined it's safe to do so. >> watch your head, doctor. lay down. don't want you to get up, okay? i know you're going to be good. >> we're not going to leave you unattended. we will come by and check on him. they're very good at what they do and then we'll make sure that
12:39 am
he stays safe and we'll not allow him to seriously get hurt. coming up -- >> first time i cut i was in my teens. >> armando doctor explains his actions. but then is confronted by correction staff. >> you said to me you got me. you got me. your exact words. you got me. why you going to tell them on camera something different? i walked up and caught you red-handed with it.
12:40 am
12:41 am
12:42 am
nothing changes here. every day is just like yesterday and tomorrow's going to be the same as today. about the only thing that changes here is the faces. after a while even the faces begin to be the same. you know? you know, that's one of the thing about doing time. nothing changes.
12:43 am
>> jack hill finds working out to be the best remedy to the monotony of his life here at the santa rosa correctional institution. >> we'll walk laps on the track. some guys get into the basketball. me, i'm mainly, i get into pull-up, push-ups stuff like that. everybody's got their own little way of getting tension and aggravation -- this is your stress release right here. >> hill has spent most of the past 35 years in prison. besides a few releases on parole, he's had a couple of others of his own making. not long after his conviction for burglary and assault, he was participating in a work release program and escaped. >> i was working outside. i met a girl. you know? you get to thinking with the wrong head, not thig like you should. remember, now, you've got a young kid whose never had serious contact like that. she says i love you.
12:44 am
i don't want to you leave. okay. let's go. right? jump in the car, we didn't come back. that was my first escape, big escape. i got caught that night down the road. a real crash dummy. >> a year later hill was back on work release. met another girl and hit the road again. >> from that point on until they got me, it was rock 'n' roll, i was on the road almost a year. well, first went to texas, you know, left texas, went to vegas. left vegas. went to california. left california, went back to vegas. went to florida. left florida, come to california, then to alabama and s.w.a.t. team got me. >> hill's escapes are from another florida price op. no one has of escaped from santa rosa, but escape was one of the first things that crossed the minds of correction staff when they discovered a handcuff key.
12:45 am
>> having a handcuff key is mainly for my defense, you know? >> having a handcuff key is not really unusual, but sometimes it's necessary. theoretically speaking, you know? >> serving a 21 year sentence for armed robbery, says this isn't the first time he's received a dr during his time in prison. >> i have possession of a weapon dr, possession of a hand cuff key. several disrespects. a couple fighting drs. >> he was already in the close management unit when he was caught with the cuff key.
12:46 am
now he must face the institutional classification team, or ict. they could change his status from close management level two to level one. the highest security level in the entire prison. >> you're currently in class management 2. classification officer is recommending upgrade to class management 1. >> what were you planning to do with the handcuff key? >> sell it. >> had you sold one before? >> yes, ma'am. >> how much do you make for a handcuff key? >> about $15, $20. >> you do realize the danger that represents in a high security facility for $15 or $20, not only to you but to other inmates and staff as well? >> yes, sir. >> you realize the consequences? >> yes, sir. >> anything else on that? >> no, sir. >> bowden will wait outside, but
12:47 am
it only takes a matter for the classification team to reach a decision. >> inmate, the institution classification team, we're going to recommend upgrading close management one. this recommendation goes to said classification, and they have the final decision. we're also approving a two-year visitation suspension. is there anything else you'd like to tell us? >> no, ma'am. >> already considered a high security inmate, an upgrade to level one means that bowden's existing privileges and movements will be even more restricted than before. armando doctor has been a close management one inmate at santa rosa for the past several months. >> i've had him for years since i've been here. it's been a constant struggle but he is one of the more extreme cases we've dealt with as far as the constant cutting and misbehavior. >> doctor's arms have only begun
12:48 am
to heal since two cutting incidents weeks earlier. >> i wasn't thinking at the time. i was aggravated. angry. i couldn't think of anything else. >> i've done it periodically off and on over the years, but i felt that, you know, the situation, it got too tough, that i couldn't deal with it and i might have retaliated physically. so i took the critical retaliation out on myself. >> doctors says his squinting is the result of being poked in the eye while in the infirmary. one of several allegations he has made against staff. >> doctor's allegation against staff was never found warranted. it was checked, but unfounded. he was wanting to be moved out
12:49 am
out of the dormitory. he was using those allegations against staff to try to dictate where he can live. >> staff denies injuring him, but doctor has been injuring himself since childhood. >> the first time i cut i was in my teens. growing up in foster care, i felt they had done me wrong taking me away from my family. you know? i wouldn't talk to nobody. i had a lot of good people that actually tried to take care of me, but my main problem was i never opened up, because at times when i tried, something always happened. so i always kept closed, and due to the fact that you're not my mother, you're not my father. you're not nobody in my blood line, i wouldn't talk and i wouldn't try to be a part of the family. >> since his latest cutting incident, doctor is moved back into his cell and not received any further sanctions, because
12:50 am
the prison does not issue for self-injuries. >> he's got full property back, and he's allowed all of his outside activities. he was seen by mental health recently in the last few days. he's been doing pretty good. real quiet since he came back this time. no issues out of him. >> but the incident that apparently triggered doctor's cutting was a disciplinary hearing which he was given additional time on close management level one for masturbating in public. doctor still denies doing so. >> i'm a muslim. and we cannot carry ourselves in that manner. we're alone and we have our thoughts to ourselves, that's another thing, but to openly do that, you know, it goes against what we believe in. so i had to leave that alone. >> don't tell them things that aren't true. >> the sergeant was standing by for the interview and remembers
12:51 am
things differently. >> when i walked up to you, you had your privates in your right hand, you dropped it and said, you got me, you got me. why you going to tell them on camera something different? i caught you red-handed with it and you said, you got me. yeah you do. yeah, you did. >> i'm the officer that wrote the discipline arrest on this for the behavior. i physically saw him doing. by the time i caught him, he said you caught me. i'll sit down. i'll back away. listen to him telling you the opposite putting me out there on the front street knowing i was the one that caught him. he knew what he did. it didn't make me angry. i expect these inmates to be truthful and to be treated the way i treat them. i don't treat them with disrespect, i expect them to do the same for me. it's a respect issue for me. for him to do that right in front of me kind of struck a
12:52 am
nerve. coming up -- >> thinking what my dad told me back year ago. he said, don't never give up. >> jack hill's personal pledge. and jurez williams celebrates freedom. >> let them know that bitch back. she's back for her crown.
12:53 am
12:54 am
12:55 am
aside from a few failed attempts at parole and two escapes from prison work release program, jack hill has spent the majority of his adult life behind bars. those years have been further tarnished by his many losses. >> i lost my father, my grandfather, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, my great-grandfather, you know. i lost my sister. i lost my brother, i lost my mother. my aunt and my uncle. yeah. pretty much my whole family's passed away since i've been in here.
12:56 am
